How to Make Lavender Lemonade Tea Hot Or Iced

  1. Bring 1 cup (240ml) of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon (2-3 grams) dried culinary lavender (or 2 tablespoons fresh lavender) and the zest of 1 lemon to the boiling water.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and steep for 1 hour. This allows the delicate lavender flavors to fully infuse.
  4. Strain the lavender mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a 2-quart or larger pitcher.
  5. Add the juice of 2 lemons, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 3 cups (720ml) of cold water to the pitcher.
  6. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. For iced tea: Serve immediately over ice in tall glasses, garnished with lemon slices. For hot tea: Serve warm in mugs, optionally sweetened with honey to taste.
  8. Adjust water to your desired sweetness and strength.
